Program Overview
Stanford Immunology is home to faculty, students, postdocs, and staff who work together to carry out internationally recognized research in immunology. The long tradition of collaboration among the immunology laboratories at Stanford fosters productive interdisciplinary research, with an emphasis on the application of molecular approaches to problems in cellular, translational, and clinical immunology. Faculty research interests include both basic science research and bench-to-bedside approaches, as well as computational and systems immunology. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars receive high caliber, state-of-the art training through their participation in research, teaching, seminars, journal clubs, and the annual Stanford Immunology Scientific Conference.
Minimum Units in the Program
Minimum University Units
All students must complete at least 45 units of academic work must be in courses at or above the 100 level, 36 units of which must be at or above the 200 level.
Students should choose one of two paths:
Computational and Systems Immunology
Molecular, Cellular and Translational Immunology
The specific requirements for each path are outlined below.
Three quarters of graduate research (IMMUNOL 399 Graduate Research) consisting of rotations in the labs of three faculty members.
Participation in the Immunology journal club (IMMUNOL 305 Immunology Journal Club) and attendance at the Immunology seminar series (IMMUNOL 311 Seminar in Immunology) and the annual Stanford Immunology Scientific Conference.
First Year Rotations Presentations and General Advising Sessions, June. Students present on one of three lab rotations.
Students must submit a master’s thesis paper on one of their rotations. This requirement may be waived under special circumstances.
